A vibrant rainbow of colour went up outside city hall yesterday as the City of Toronto officially proclaimed one of the year's biggest celebrations. Pride Week, which kicked off on June 24 with events on Church Street, runs until July 3, culminating in Sunday's Pride Parade.
Reverend Brent Hawkes says the controversial group Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA) did the right thing today by pulling themselves out of the Toronto Pride Parade.
